Four different Translation Engines: it has the ability to provide the translations by using Google Translation Engine, Babel Fish, Promt, FreeTranslations.com

Search Engine Optimized: it uses the permalinks by adding the language code at the beginning of all your URI. For example the english version on www.domain.com/mycategory/mypost will be automatically transformed in www.domain.com/en/mycategory/mypost

Fully configurable layout: you can easily customize the appearance of the translation bar by choosing between a TABLE, DIV or IMAGE MAP based layout for the flags bar and by selecting the number of translations to make available to your visitors

No database modifications: Global Translator is not intrusive. It doesn’t create or alter any table on your database: this feature permits to obtain better performances.

IMPORTANT: I daily receive about 30/40 comments and messages containing suggestions or support requests about Global Translator. Unfortunately I can’t offer free support anymore because it requires a lot of time and costs a lot. If you need help or need more advanced features, I suggest you to buy Global Translator PRO.

Uninstall and remove the previous version and follow the Installation instructions, but if you’re upgrading from 0.9 or higher version I suggest you to preserve the “cache” directory.

After this simple operation, a bar containing the flags which represents all the available translations for your language will appear on your blog. Check my blog for an example (on the sidebar) or take a look to my Youtube Video Downloaders blog.
